I could have floated you the extra 5 grand if that's all you needed.... as long as you hung a framed picture of me right below the head mount of the bull you killed with it  ;).

$44,000 is a steal!! The Arizona Governors tag for elk sold for $382,000, and Denny Austed bought the Antelope island deer tag in Utah for something like $315,000!! That's a lot of money generated but they're still feeding these things to wolves? I guess I'll never understand it?

Always look forward to seeing what that buys....lots of money if that is your yearly salary, but for those that have it...drop in the bucket. Hope he does well.

I hope this thread stays positive. I know Mike and have hunted with him. He's a great guy who has earned his money and spends it on what he enjoys/loves doing. Regardless of your personal opinion on how people spend their money or how they hunt, its theirs and their right to do as they please so be glad they continue to support what we all love to do. I hope he kills a couple giants this year!nwhunter

I've know Mike for a long time also-he's a dedicated sportsman whose only real extravagance is hunting.  He's earned the right to buy this tag and is only doing what most of the rest of us would do if we had the resources.  I hope he nails a brute!!

Those are some beautiful bulls!  Is this the same guy that drew the sheep raffle tag last year?  Hope he gets a nice one.

I think he bought the westside elk tag last year if I remember correctly.  I know he was bidding, but I cant remember if he bought it or someone else did.

That is Mike C JR in that pic (great ram by the way) Not sure if it was him or his dad that got the elk tag.  Both are great guys that are huting machines.  I can't wait to see what they get.

Sr bought the eastside and Jr bought the westside from what i heard.

Title: Re: Eastside Governors tag
Post by: Maverick on April 09, 2013, 01:52:03 PM
